    Wasn't informed from the start about import fees and still being charged VAT also so that was a downer. But the refund process was quick and the one and only time I had to speak to the team it was dealt with quickly professionally and the lady was lovely. Just the whole journey as a whole was disappointing

    Found the site difficult to navigate, once I had located an item , I found it difficult to find again. The description of a lot of items is too breif , hence me paying the price for a kit wich I assumed would be cast alloy pieces but it turng out to be cheap plastic(?) bits . Once order placed I found out it was coming from France which took about 2 weeks but was kept informed (even received a email few days after I had got it to say it was still on its way) . When it arrived ,I thought it must be a empty box ,it was so light. I opened the very well made box to find a few plastic bags containing the parts which mostly looked very delicate . This turned out to be true as the were also very brittle and broke very easy. I proceeded using the broken parts as best I could but when a major part broke in two ,enough was enough and the whole lot went in the bin - a expensine mistake.I feel this company wants to improve its quality control and stop selling kits such as this(Fordson Tractor Big) for a rediculous high price .

    Selling items they clearly don’t have in stock and give you no clue as to when they might, if ever, arrive. Then blame the distributor/ manufacturer for no timeframe. When you do finally give up expect them to take a week to refund your money. Customer support are next to useless. Won’t use these people ever again. Using a .co.uk web address also gives the impression your dealing with a uk based company. You are not! A bit sly on there part I feel.

    Good, only issue is lack of order confirmation e-mail detailing what I had purchased. Received the Credit Card payment confirmation, OK, but nothing else, which is unusual from an internet seller. Would be 5 stars otherwise. Delivery was fine, took 6 working/business days to arrive. Thank you

    Overall ordering experience was great. Delivery was fast considering the current circumstances. Everything came within a rather secure and good condition box. However, my only issue would be related to the Scania R730 Streamline model that I ordered. For a newer person they may not receive what they thought they'd get as the products images does not match what you are actually purchasing. Before I ordered, I checked the models number and it referenced many of the same pictures, but of a different configuration. I would like to see accurate images for each product. That would be my only negative. Everything else about the order to delivery was brilliant. Thank you.
